Answer:

It takes a vehicle 2 hour to travel 130 miles.

Explanation:

A vehicle takes 1.5 hours to travel = 97.5 miles

Average speed of a vehicle =
(97.5)/(1.5) = 65 miles/hour.

To cover the distance of 65 miles it takes time = 1 hour

To travel 130 miles it takes time =
(130)/(65) = 2 hours

It takes a vehicle 2 hour to travel 130 miles.
